About this task

When you import a .NET assembly into an application domain, the import stores a link to the original location of the file on the file system. Changes made to the assembly on the file system are picked up when you refresh the application domain object.

The import additionally makes a copy of the imported file in the application domain, and so you can deploy your .NET application from your workspace even if you remove the original source file from the file system.
